Was she what I wanted in a wife? She seemed to have it all. This story could fit into a number of different catagories. I didn't mark them all, wanting to hold back a few surprises
Claudia's Condition (3) Three women are abducted, destined to die by the date on the calendar. Another woman is abducted because a killer wants deadly revenge.

I had been sitting in the food court when I was nearly hit by falling boxes. Offering to help triggered an outburst from an angry young woman. "What, you see a cripple and think you have to help? What do you know about handicaps? Why don't you shut up and leave me alone!" she screamed. The entire food court was silent. I didn't respond, just got my cane from a chair where I'd left it. As I was leaving the food court I heard, "Please stop!" The words weren't quite so angry now.
After Jacob rescued eight year old Hollie from a terrible fate, he presented her as his daughter from a previous marriage rather than turning her over to state authorities.

The answers eventually emerged, surprising everyone.
